When you’re a kid, spending time with your parents was equally as uncool as elasticated trousers or wears bowling shoes with laces at birthday parties.

So Justin Bieber might want to go incognito for a week or two because his mates might give him a dead arm for his comments about missing his mother bear today.

When asked if his mum travels everywhere with him, he said: “She does sometimes but recently she’s been doing her own thing, she’s doing a book as well and so she’s been doing that and I’ve been doing the tour and on this promo run.

“I do miss her yeah, I mean especially like now being 18 and you know when before when I was round her all the time like every day, so I was getting sick of her and I would look forward to her leaving, like ‘yes mom’s leaving tomorrow!’, the heartthrob told Daybreak.

“And now I’m like, ‘When is mum coming back?’ because I don’t see her that often so you know it’s funny how those things change.”

Even though Justin’s got enough money to buy loads of Curly Wurlys instead of that penny sweet nonsense, he admits that spending his money on nights out isn’t interesting.

He said: “I don’t really go out, every time I come here I’m super busy, so by the end of the night I’m super tired...We don’t go clubbing no, we just hang out low-key and just chill.”

Which is probably for the best, could you imagine the hysteria if Bieber went to a nightclub?

We’ve seen drunk people go mental for Mark Wright at a swanky London nightclub. Sure, it was only Arg and Lauren Goodyear but it still counts.

But how do the Beliebers in Britain compared to their rivals in America?

The 18-year-old said: “I mean in the States they don’t really like, they chase the car for a little bit but here they chase the car and then they run for blocks, then they get their bikes and they’re riding along and then yeah...they’re very dedicated.”

He added: “I never get fed up with it, I mean I’ve been so blessed to just, you know, so many people just wish to have the fan base that I have so I never, no I don’t regret anything."
